“…Senescence of cut flowers may depend on many factors such as water stress, carbohydrate depletion, microorganisms and ethylene effects (Mohd Rafdi et al, 2018). By adding some chemicals to the preservation solutions and provide suitable conditions for the flowers it is possible to delay the quality degradation during postharvest (Ebrahim-Zadeh and SaifiI, 1999).…”

In this study, effects of different concentrations of silver nanoparticles (NS), salicylic acid (SA), spermine (SP), dill (AN), and cumin (CM) essential oils are investigated on physiological and microbiological traits of alstroemeria (Alstroemeria hybrida) cut flowers during a preharvest and postharvest application. The study was performed as a factorial experiment based on a randomized completely design with three replications. During the experiment the vase life of cut flower was evaluated in terms of chlorophylls a, b and total, SOD, MDA, stem end bacterial colonies and bacterial identification. The results showed that using high concentrations of nanosilver (NS2) increased significantly the vase life of cut Alstroemeria in preharvest and postharvest. 11 colonies of bacteria were identified in stem end of cut alstroemeria flowers.

“…Amin (2017) reported that citric acid reduces the proliferation of the bacterial population in the solution and increases the water conductivity in the cut flower xylem, so it is estimated that the uptake of vase solution is higher in citric acid applications. Studies have also reported that sugar-containing vase solutions have the highest vase solution intake and are more effective than sugar-free solutions (MohdRafdi et al, 2018). It has been reported that sugar-containing solutions provide water balance in plants.…”

Effects of organic acids, chemical treatments and herbal essential oils on the vase life of cut carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) flowers

Among the cut flowers, carnations are sensitive to ethylene. Therefore, the vase life is short and a negative situation arises in terms of marketing. Different chemical preservatives, herbal essential oils and growth regulators are used today to extend the post-harvest life of cut flowers. This study was conducted to determines the effects of single-use of some organic acids, chemical acids and essential oils and their combinations with sugar on postharvest life (vase life) of cut carnation flowers. Experiments were conducted in randomized plots design with three replications. Experimental treatments included: Salicylic Acid (100 mg/L), Ascorbic Acid (100 mg/L), Citric Acid (200 mg/L), Benzyl Adenine (50 mg/L), Carvacrol (200 mg/L), Thymol (200 mg/L) and sugar-supplemented (10 g/L) combinations of these treatments. Measured parameters included: Vase life, relative fresh weight, daily vase solution uptake, total vase solution uptake, pH change, bacteria population and diagnosis of dominant bacteria. Among the present treatments, 200 mg/L citric acid treatment decreased the bacteria population, prevented blockage in the plant's stem section, and thus, promoted water uptake. Thus, the best outcomes in terms of vase life, total vase solution uptake and relative fresh weights were achieved with 200 mg/L citric acid treatment. It was also observed that Salicylic Acid (100 mg/L) + Sucrose (10 g/L) and Benzyl Adenine (50 mg/L) + Sucrose (10 g/L) treatments yielded expected outcomes. Besides, non-sugar containing vase solutions yielded better outcomes than sugar-supplemented combinations. In terms of pH changes, decreases were observed in the final pH values of sugar-supplemented solutions compared to the initial pH values. Additionally, in present vase solutions, mostly Burkholderia cepacia species were diagnosed and also Pseudomonas antarctica, Pectobacterium carotovorum, Xanthomonas hortorum, Pseudomonas chlororaphis bacteria colonies were identified. As a result of the study, it is thought that 200 mg/L citric acid treatment and 100 mg/L salicylic acid + 10 g/L sugar treatment will contribute to cut flower and cut carnation producers and researchers working in this in the post-harvest field.

“…However highest wilting percentage examined when sucrose (3%) was used as the preservative solution, this may be due to rapid break down of sugar combined with quick water loss through transpiration results in early senescence of florets (Chathuri and Sarananda, 2011) or may be due to highest bacterial activity at stem base that limits the water uptake by cut spike which depletes food reserves which leads to petal fading and cell flaccidity (Thwala et al, 2013). In Acacia holoserica cut foliage, application of exogenous sucrose leads to accumulation of high sucrose concentration in the apoplast of leaf cells that cause the cells to plasmolyse thus damage cells and ultimately results in the death of foliage (Mohd Rafdi et al, 2018). Also in calla lily, Sales et al (2018) reported that high sucrose concentration causes phytotoxicity or initiate a physiological process that leads to early senescence.…”

Gladiolus is an important cut flower in the world, and its preference in Pakistan is next to roses. But the main problem that occurs in gladiolus is that it has short vase life. The present experiment was conducted with an objective to investigate the effect of four preservative solutions [distilled water, Sucrose (3%), AgNO3 (250 ppm), AgNO3 (250 ppm) + Sucrose (3%)] and packaging material on postharvest quality of three gladiolus varieties, “Tissue, White Prosperity and Alexandra”. Packaging material consists of control treatment (without packaging), packaging of cut spikes with 100 ppm acetic acid soaked cotton and packaging of polyethylene sheet after sucrose pulsing. The experiment was arranged as two factorial laid out according to completely randomized design (CRD) having three replications. Results showed that preservative solution having combination of AgNO3 (250 ppm) + Sucrose (3%) significantly improves days to open basal floret, floret opening percentage (%), bloom spread (inch), floret length (inch), floret diameter (inch), fresh spike weight (g), dry spike weight (g), fresh weight loss (%) and vase life (days). Moreover, this treatment was also effective in reducing the wilting (%) in all gladiolus varieties. However, for solution uptake (mL/spike) and solution balance (ml/spike), AgNO3 (250 ppm)alone gives the best results. For packaging treatment, the pulsing of a cut spike with 20% sucrose followed by polyethylene sheet wrapping proves to be effective. Among the varieties, Alexandra performed better for all quality parameters in comparison to White Prosperity and Tissue
